Call for expression of interest in the appointment of members of the joint Board of Appeal of the three European Supervisory Authorities for the financial services sector (European Banking Authority, European Insurance and Occupational Pensions Authority and European Securities and Markets Authority)

(2017/C 32/06)

1.   Description of the Authorities

The European Banking Authority (EBA), the European Insurance and Occupational Pensions Authority (EIOPA), and the European Securities and Markets Authority (ESMA), are created by Regulation (EU) No 1093/2010, Regulation (EU) No 1094/2010, and Regulation (EU) No 1095/2010 respectively (1). Together, they constitute European Supervisory Authorities for the financial services sectors, and are members of the European System of Financial Supervision.

They have as their goals for their respective sectors of competence, among others:

In addition, the ESMA carries out the supervision of credit rating agencies and trade repositories within the EU, and performs tasks relevant to over-the-counter (OTC) derivatives and short-selling of securities.

To this end, in addition to adopting non-binding acts such as guidelines and recommendations, and draft technical standards, each Authority may also adopt binding decisions in certain circumstances addressed to national supervisory authorities or to individual financial institutions, which, together with certain other decisions, will be appealable acts.

EBA has its seat in London, United Kingdom, EIOPA has its seat in Frankfurt am Main, Germany and ESMA has its seat in Paris, France. Each of the Authorities was established on 1 January 2011.

2.   The joint Board of Appeal

Articles 60 and 61 of each of the three Regulations set out the relevant rights of recourse against decisions of the Authorities. Articles 58 and 59 of each Regulation provide for the establishment of a joint Board of Appeal of the three Authorities. The Board is responsible for deciding on appeals against certain individual decisions of the Authorities. Its decisions can themselves be appealed before the Court of Justice of the European Union.

The joint Board of Appeal shall be composed of six members and six alternates (two members and two alternates designated per and by each Authority), who shall be individuals of a high repute with a proven record of relevant knowledge and professional experience, including supervisory experience, to a sufficiently high level in the fields of banking, insurance, occupational pensions, securities markets or other financial services. Excluded are current staff of the competent authorities or other national or Union institutions involved in the activities of the Authorities.

The Board of Appeal shall have sufficient legal expertise to provide expert legal advice on the legality of the Authorities' exercise of their powers. The members of the Board of Appeal shall be independent in making their decisions. They shall not be bound by any instructions.

The Board of Appeal designates its own President.

The term of office of the members of the Board of Appeal shall be 5 years. This term may be extended once.

5.   Selection procedure and working conditions

Under the terms of Regulations (EU) No 1093/2010, (EU) No 1094/2010, and (EU) No 1095/2010, the Management Board of each Authority will decide (after consultation with their respective Boards of Supervisors) on the appointment of members and/or alternates on the basis of a shortlist proposed by the European Commission.

A reserve list with validity until up to 48 months will be established, in case of more than one successful candidate.

The members of the Board of Appeal may not perform any other duties in the Authority, in its Management Board or in its Board of Supervisors. They shall receive appropriate expenses and compensation according to the ESAs' budgetary constraints for the tasks accomplished on the basis of a contract as service providers, but shall not be permanent employees of the Authorities. Members of the Board of Appeals may therefore be in full-time employment, if this is compatible with their ability to hear appeals at short notice. The level of activity of the Board of Appeal will depend on the number of appeals made against decisions of the Authorities.

The members of the Board of Appeal shall undertake to act independently and in the public interest. For that purpose, they shall make a declaration of commitments and a declaration of interests indicating either the absence of any interest which may be considered prejudicial to their independence or the nature of any direct or indirect interest which might be considered prejudicial to their independence. Those declarations shall be made public, annually and in writing.

6.   Submission of applications

A letter of motivation and a curriculum vitae must be sent to the address indicated below. The curriculum vitae should preferably be drafted using the European CV format. Certified copies of degrees/diplomas, references, proof of experience, etc. should not be sent at this point but must be submitted at a later stage of the procedure if requested.
